Chapter 936 Is it such a coincidence?
The Tong family abandoned their dutiful and obedient adopted son for money, only to lose everything in the end. Meanwhile, the Qiu family's own son, the heir they had invested in for over twenty years, was gone—all their efforts were in vain, and they gained nothing. To this, I can only say one thing: they deserved it! This is the consequence of insatiable greed! Apart from the truly wealthy young master who tragically became cannon fodder, everyone else deserved their fate!
People sympathize with the weak, especially the weak who have passed away.
The reason why Tong Kaibin's plight garnered so much sympathy is not only because the story was truly dramatic, but also because many people saw a reflection of their own suffering in him.
As his relatives, the two families of Tong, who were originally victims, turned from victims into perpetrators because of their own actions.
Leaving aside the Tong family, who had already been dealt with by their own son, the enemies were left unscathed since they weren't involved in Qiu Yanwen's kidnapping.
But this doesn't mean that their family was truly unscathed and suffered no losses.
The loss of his heir, whom he had nurtured for many years, was already enough to break Qiu's father's heart and leave him devastated. As the Qiu family's scandal was exposed, many of his former business partners felt that he was out of his mind, abandoning his own son to raise someone else's child, ultimately ruining both of his children.
Some even believe that if he could raise such an unscrupulous adopted son, his character is probably questionable and he should not be trusted.
Mr. Qiu's reputation plummeted, and the Qiu family's company also entered a period of hardship.
The double blow to his family and career left Mr. Qiu overwhelmed, but even so, he still didn't think he had done anything wrong. Instead, he regretted why he had exposed the matter.
He should have taken immediate action after learning about this to ensure that everyone in the know kept it a secret and buried it deep in their hearts forever.
In that case, his proud son would not lose his usual composure and do something so unprofessional.
Even more ruthless was Mother Qiu, who directly directed all her resentment and anger onto Tong Kaibin.
“I told you back then that the kid was no good. He was vulgar in speech and rude in behavior, a real debt collector. Just looking at him made my heart ache. I really don’t understand why you, with such an excellent son as Yanwen, would insist on acknowledging that little rascal? If you hadn’t done this, how could Yanwen, such a kind and sensible person, have done something so terrible just because he felt insecure?”
Whenever Qiu's mother thought about her son, whom she had loved for so many years, going to prison and ruining his bright future, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
The thought of having to endure strange looks from others every time she went out made her feel even more ashamed and unbearable, and her hatred for Tong Kaibin deepened.
She disliked this son from the start. The first time she saw him, she felt that he exuded a poor and vulgar air that was not presentable, and he was completely incomparable to her child who had been raised with a noble air since childhood.
She felt no sadness at Tong Kaibin's death; instead, she resented him for not only dying but also causing her beloved son to go to prison, and for causing her family to lose face.
Everything was fine in their family before he appeared, but as soon as he showed up, all sorts of troubles started happening. He's such a troublemaker.
“Mom is right. If it weren’t for that guy, my brother would still be fine, and our family would be fine too. His appearance not only ruined my brother, but also our family. He’s a jinx, a curse! Dad, you shouldn’t have gone after him in the first place!”
The speaker was Qiu Yanwen, or rather, Tong Kaibin's younger sister, the second young lady of the Qiu family.
As the youngest child in the family, and a girl who posed no threat to his inheritance rights, Qiu Yanwen doted on his younger sister, even to the point of spoiling her, deliberately raising her to be arrogant and naive.
However, it's not necessarily true that the two had a very good relationship. The reason why this second young lady echoed her mother's words was partly because Qiu Yanwen was very generous. He could buy her anything she wanted, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, which her so-called brother couldn't do at all.
On the other hand, it was also because she looked down on Tong Kaibin's poor appearance, and felt that because of him, so many things had happened in her family, causing her to lose face in public.
Mr. Qiu was furious as he listened to his wife and daughter's accusations, but how could he not feel regret?
"Back then, I was thinking that rather than letting people find out about this in the future and using it to attack Yanwen and me, it would be better for me to take the initiative to recognize the child back. It's not like it's just adding another pair of chopsticks to the house. I could just take him back, treat him like a decoration, feed him well, and raise him to prevent any future troubles. Who knew it would turn out like this?"
Mrs. Qiu's face was grim, and she gritted her teeth: "It's too late to say anything now. If I had known I would give birth to such a wicked child, I should have strangled him to death the moment he was born!"
The Qiu family members were filled with righteous indignation, as if Tong Kaibin had done something heinous to hurt them, completely unaware that he was their own flesh and blood, who had already passed away.
They never imagined that the people they resented were standing not far away watching this inexplicable farce, their last trace of warmth completely gone, replaced by utter indifference.
After Tong Kaibin was tied up by Ye Wanxi that day, he couldn't go too far away from them. After everything settled down, he went home with Ye Wanxi.
Although he was just a wandering soul, he was still male, so it wasn't appropriate for him to stay at Ye Wanxi's house all the time.
Putting everything else aside, the occasional sharp glances someone gave him were enough to terrify him.
After learning about the ordeal of the two members of the Tong family by chance, Tong Kaibin was very surprised. However, instead of going back to see his father, who was said to have suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, he chose to come to his enemy's house to see how this family would react after his death.
As a result, he saw it, and his heart sank. After a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, Tong Kaibin did nothing and left decisively.
After learning about the commotion caused by her enemies, Ye Wanxi's expression became subtle. She felt that these two families were truly bizarre, and Tong Kaibin was really unlucky to have gotten involved with them.
However, after that, she discovered something else that surprised her greatly.
The second young lady of this enemy family turned out to be the future sugar daddy and rich girlfriend of Lian Lifan, whom Ye Wanxi had predicted would hurt Lin Yuxiu for a scumbag in the near future.
When Ye Wanxi mentioned this to Feng Tianyu, Feng Tianyu frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing, "The young men that Captain Liu brought that day seemed to have mentioned that the enemy's agency has an artist surnamed Lian who has become quite famous recently."
Ye Wanxi: "..." What a coincidence!
